No I'm not and of course they have.
Everyone is looking for where to lay the blame and how it might "wrongfully" impact a company that as of yet has not been unethical.
This is a great example of a reason to not engage with a small company at this level.

Chronicle's name and support likely influenced quite a few to trust the journey and product would be smooth and satisfactory. Again Chronicle was fine with this arrangement when things looked rosy and orders and beneficial publicity were to be gained.
This isn't about Chronicle's misstep but I sure may make future decisions as a result of it that Chronicle may not prefer.
In the future if Chronicle or ANYONE else has another product arrangement with a small company I would definitely avoid it or go in understanding the risk that I may lose whatever I spend. For others this may not better them at all and that is fine too.
What I am advocating is any forum reader being able to read the experiences of those involved so they can be informed make their own decisions.
This isn't about logic but how comfortable each person
feels. Much of this hobby and well life's decisions are not logical and subject to proof. Trying to split off the association to another part of the forum where less people are likely to find it after things go sour is illogical as far as the benefit of potential customers.
It's a customer avoiding a bad situation regardless of the blame game.
If reading what has happened causes some not to place future orders due to fear of risk then too bad for Chronicle.
